>> this is the latest on isaac. it's a little bit stronger than it was last night and hurricane hunters are taking a look at it to see if it's on it's way to becoming a hurricane. heavy rain bands are continuing to spread across the peninsula and the panhandle and it won't be long before that weather goes to southeast atlanta. with isaac it's about 400 miles southwest of louisiana. on that track, isaac is forecasted to become a category one storm with land fall late tuesday night and early tuesday morning near new orleans or possibly to the east. there is concern it could get stronger and one of the big reasons for it are very warm ocean temperatures and the track of the storm as it moves to the northwest, these are some of the warme warmest areas. right now we're forecasted for a category one, but there's a possibility that isaac could be a little stronger, maybe as strong as a category two. that's a trend we need to watch. >> thank you, the center of isaac just missed the keys. good morning. >> reporter: good morn

isaac is a strong storm in the northern gulf of mexico. and all of the expectations this morning are it will become a hurricane. now it is moving a lot slow are than it was yesterday, moving northwest at only 7. and that position is about 165 miles southeast of new orleans, louisiana, and there's the track, moving onshore late tonight or tomorrow morning. potentially a category 1 storm. and only slowly pulling away from the new orleans area late tonight and then going into wednesday afternoon. so this storm is going to move very slow. and that means it has big implications for storm surge anywhere from morgan city, louisiana, through the levee protection areas outside of new orleans, biloxi, and mobile. and on top of that, with the slow-moving storm, we can expect a lot of rain, at least through thursday, widespread areas of six to 12 inches of rain are possible. and some of those areas in white, where they get stuck under some of those feeder bands, we could see as much as 20 inches of rain in some spots. so needless to say, we have storm

we have the very latest on tropical storm isaac. and indeed the storm is stronger than it was last night. the very latest from the hurricane center shows those winds have increased from 45 to 50 miles per hour. the movement is west at 15. and we think the storm is going to move across the haitian peninsula of cuba and then towards south florida late sunday night and early monday morning as a tropical storm. but it very well might be a hurricane at that point. and the forecast is on monday, into early tuesday morning, as it makes its closest approach to the tampa area, that in fact it could be a hurricane, and that northwest movement will likely continue as we go into central florida early on wednesday morning. now the reason we think this storm has potential to strengthen as it moves towards the keys and the west coast of florida, including tampa, is high ocean fuel that's very warm water temperatures. and that's going to provide the energy to make isaac potentially a very strong storm in the gulf of mexico. that's a trend we're goi
